The irony couldn’t be sharper. Tea, the women-only app built to anonymously tag, rate, and expose men as “red flags,” has suffered a massive data breach. The platform, designed to leak men’s reputations, has now leaked the identities of tens of thousands of its own users.
Hackers accessed over 72,000 images, including 13,000 verification selfies and government IDs, plus more than a million private messages. These weren’t just profile pics—many were sensitive documents submitted during account verification. Tea stored all this data on an unsecured public Firebase server, with zero protection. Anyone with basic technical skills could have found it.
Tea claimed to be a “safe space” for women. In reality, it was a digital pillory for men. Anonymous accusations, baseless claims, and public shaming—often without evidence or accountability. Now, the tables have turned.
The women who used Tea to judge and expose others are now the ones being exposed. They wanted to shame men. Now they’re the ones facing shame. That’s not just irony. That’s poetic justice.

There needs to be a name for the followers of the man-hating trends among feminists like "woman incels" or something like that.
The are obvious trends among the Tea app users.

I gotta hand it to them, the one thing that women can do better than men is to dox themselves.
